Frontend Developer

Looking for a place where your ideas are heard, your code is shipped, and learning never stops? Do you want to learn by building software that powers real-world events — from festivals to film shoots in 70+ countries?

About us

Rentman is a B2B SaaS scaleup building smart, powerful resource management software for event and production teams. Our users plan everything from small shoots to massive festivals in 70+ countries — and they all rely on Rentman to keep their gear, people, and timing perfectly in sync. Check out our public roadmap to see what’s coming next.

We’re based in Utrecht (NL) with a second office in Toronto (CA), and our team includes 100+ people from 30+ nationalities. We work in English, and our culture is open, inclusive, and flat — built on curiosity, ownership, and the freedom to challenge ideas.

Mission Of This Role

As a Frontend Developer at Rentman, you’ll shape the interfaces that thousands of event professionals rely on every day — from festivals to film sets. You’ll design performant, scalable, and reusable Angular components, bring UX ideas to life, and take ownership of frontend architecture that supports a powerful, real-time SaaS platform.

What Are You Going To Do?

• Design, build, and maintain high-performing, reusable Angular components and modern UIs across the product.

• Manage application state effectively for complex UIs and data-heavy workflows

• Collaborate with backend developers, designers, and QA to deliver features from concept to release

• Take technical ownership of some features — shaping implementation, anticipating edge cases, and ensuring quality

• Drive UX improvements with the Design team and help raise the bar for usability and accessibility

• Contribute to architectural decisions, tech alignment meetings, and frontend tooling improvements

• Pair with junior developers to share knowledge and support onboarding

• Having fun doing all of the above

 
Our Stack

Rentman is a modern cloud-based web-application relied on daily by our users to administer movement of equipment and access data on the go.

Front-End

• Current version of Angular as our main frontend framework, using Typescript

• A mobile app developed with Ionic and Capacitor built using Angular components

• Compilation and bundling done by Webpack

• Websockets (NodeJS and SocketIO) to sync data between clients

• We work based on "Continuous integration" so our systems can separately run on different version

 
Back-end

• From a back-end perspective, Rentman consists of our internal API, a public API and a set of microservices. The internal API is quite intense on complex database calculations. Modern version of PHP and MySQL, used in our internal API. Modern versions of Laravel, used by some of the microservices. Our backend is deployed on AWS
   

Testing Approach

• Automated unit testing on every pull request

• Automated E2E tests with Ghost Inspector, running weekly and on-demand

• Automated mobile app tests with Appium and Webdriverio

• Weekly manual regression testing

• Manual testing on-demand
  

 
Methodology

We follow Scrum with two-week sprints and weekly releases. Our four self-organising dev teams each focus on their own product stream and consist of a product owner and 4 to 6 frontend or backend developers, one of them has the role of scrum master. A dedicated QA team supports testing and manages regression tests and releases. During a weekly 'Tech Alignment' meeting, developers together with the CTO discuss technology, address technical debt and decide on our technical roadmap. 20% sprint capacity can be used for initiatives on the technical roadmap.

Essential attributes to be a successful Frontend Developer

• Experience building modern single-page applications, writing efficient and scalable frontend code using Angular and Typescript

• Solid experience with testing tools like Jest, Karma, or Jasmine

• You care about code quality—writing clean, readable code supported by unit and integration tests

• Experience in collaborative, multidisciplinary product teams – you work well with backend engineers, designers, and product managers

• Scalability mindset – not only do you write scalable code, but you also help the company scale by sharing knowledge, improving processes, and raising the bar

• Solid foundation in computer science – an academic background in computer science or similar (bachelor/master)

• A personality that thrives at Rentman – strong ownership, collaborative spirit, curiosity, and a drive to solve complex problems together

Nice-to-have attributes to make you a perfect match for the Frontend Developer position

• Exposure to native app development (Java, Swift, Objective-C)—Rentman is a complex web app, not a website

• Experience working in real-time systems or SaaS environments

• Fullstack exposure (backend collaboration or light backend skills)
